In the early 90's my musical preference was heavily biased towards house music. For instance listening weekly to “For those who like to groove” on the Dutch radio, where prominent club dj's were live mixing the hottest tracks. Retrospectively my musical taste has expanded a lot over the years, but every once in a while I still play and mix old school house on vinyl. This time I also went a step further and tried to find new-old tracks by buying cd's and mixtapes from that era. Some of those tracks really blew my mind and were far ahead of their time. All of this I used to create a mix that starts out poppy and mellow and evolves to more underground/uptempo beats, all from the 91/92 era, enjoy!

To keep it period-correct, I recorded it on a first generation Sony MDW-60 from 1992 (with the lettering upside down!). The mix is not more than 60 minutes and I have used optical s/pdif in to record the audio in real-time. I also wanted it to be gapless, so I recorded it in 1 go and added track markers manually afterwards. For the mix itself I have used Audacity as my primary tool to make a master file on my laptop and apply eq and amplification changes where necessary. I then exported it to wav and played this via optial out.
